First look at a translucent betta fish

[Puriti]

I went to petsmart today going to buy fish food and I went and looked at the male betta fish to see if i could find a new mate for my female since my other's being a brat, and i see this peachy orange colored fish with see through tails, a peach "flare", and this cute little face and I was like..."Is this albino or something?" because you can see the bloodvessels in him. She told me he was translucent and I was like....that's so awesome! ^^; so yeah I suckered in and bought him *hugs my Phantom* PHANTOM OF THE FISH TANK! BUAHAHAHAHA! ^^;;;;;

I think your betta is called a cellophane betta.

 

[Puriti]

It's kinda fuzzy but I have a crappy camera

 

[Puriti]

Yeah that's what he is *looked it up on google* never actually seen one before though

 

[talloulou]

He was the same price as the rest lol but yeah the lady was saying it was the first time she'd seen one and I just loved him ^^ he's doing great! ... just a little spazzy at times

We had alot of them go through the store I worked at.. Id say about 10% of the bettas..

Thanks for the pic - it looks like he is zooming! He looks wonderful.

He's so awesome, he's very docile towards all the other fish unless they get up behind him because for some reason they like to trail behind him a lot
